Analysis of information sources in references of the Wikipedia article "Steve Reich" in English language version.

I drew inspiration from a diverse array of sources. I was as influenced by Ennio Morricone and James Brown as I was by Steve Reich and The Pop Group.
Actually, I wrote a thesis criticizing Gilbert Ryle for criticizing Wittgenstein.
My version of ambient was the coalescence of lots of different streams. Some of them were musical, others not. The musical threads I picked up would include Satie, of course, but also the early experiments of Steve Reich, Terry Riley, and the other minimalist composers of the late '60s—all of whom were looking at music as a "steady state" rather than a narrative experience.
Freshman year, I was turned on to a lot of the bands that would influence our sound: Nick Drake, Red House Painters, Elliott Smith, Codeine, the Sea and Cake, The Smiths/Morrissey, Slowdive, My Bloody Valentine, Can, Steve Reich, etc.
There's been a Steve Reich influence--and Philip Glass and people like that--on a lot of our records.
